Gibraltar DCIM32-76 Die Spring 1-1/4 in Medium-duty Blue

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DCIM32-76 is a medium-duty die spring designed for use in stamping dies, punch presses, and precision tooling applications. Built from chromium alloy steel with a trapezoidal wire cross-section, it delivers consistent force and controlled deflection under repeated cyclic loading. The spring features a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter, a 5/8 inch rod diameter, and a 3 inch free length. At maximum deflection of 1.3 inches, it generates a load of 524 pounds. The blue color coding identifies it as a medium-duty rating per ISO and NAAMS standards. Tool and die makers, machinists, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This die spring is suited for use in metal stamping dies, mold bases, and automated press tooling where a medium spring force is required. The 5/8 inch rod diameter and 1-1/4 inch hole diameter allow it to fit standard die set configurations. It is applicable in both automotive tooling environments governed by NAAMS standards and general industrial tooling built to ISO 10243 specifications. Sold individually, it is a direct replacement or spare for medium-duty spring positions in existing die sets.

Key Features

• Chromium alloy steel construction for high fatigue resistance under cyclic loading
• Trapezoidal wire cross-section maximizes load capacity relative to spring size
• 524 pound maximum deflection load at 1.3 inches of travel
• Spring rate of 405 pounds per inch for predictable, linear force output
• Blue color coding identifies medium-duty rating per NAAMS and ISO 10243 standards
• Compliant with NAAMS, ISO 10243, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 registered quality systems

Compatibility

Designed as a medium-duty die spring replacement for standard tooling applications conforming to NAAMS and ISO 10243 dimensional specifications, with a 1-1/4 inch hole diameter and 5/8 inch rod diameter fitment.

Installation Notes

Die springs are installed by tool and die makers or maintenance machinists during die set assembly or spring replacement. Always de-energize and lock out the press before accessing the die set. Ensure the rod diameter and hole diameter clearances match the existing die pocket before seating the spring. Do not compress the spring beyond its rated maximum deflection of 1.3 inches, as over-compression will reduce service life and may cause failure.
